News | Fortnite is getting skins from Avatar: The Last Airbender today
Fortnite today introduces three character skins from Avatar: The Last Airbender. In addition, starting Friday, April 12, players can participate in an event based on the popular cartoon, called Avatar: Elements.
Epic Games announced this news via a trailer on X. The skins that will be available in the item shop from today are those of Katara, Zuko and Toph. The trailer also shows a short clip in which the main character Aang – aka the Avatar – is frozen in a large ice lump together with his flying bison Appa. In all likelihood, the Avatar’s skin will be available via the event’s mini-battle pass, which starts on Friday.
The arrival of the Avatar: The Last Airbender event in Fortnite had already been leaked. Like other Fortnite crossover events, Avatar: Elements will likely last two to three weeks. During the event, players can complete missions related to the characters and various elements of the cartoon series. This allows various cosmetic items, including an extra skin, to be unlocked.
Yip yip! Get ready, Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Fortnite.

It is currently unclear whether Sokka will also be part of Avatar: Elements. Katara’s brother, known for his boomerang, is actually the only character from the well-known ‘Team Avatar’ that has not yet been shown by Epic Games.
The upcoming event is not the first crossover that Fortnite has had with the Avatar world. A Korra skin previously came to the game via the second season of Chapter 5: Myth & Mortals. Korra is the main character of the spin-off series The Legend of Korra.

The skins that people can unlock are combinations between previous favorite Fortnite skins. For example, Peely the banana is combined with ice cream mascot Lil’ Whip, resulting in a new skin called Lil’ Split. More information about the new season can be found on the official website.
